Leave it to me to show up to a swap meet that was cancelled and still manage to bring yet another bike home.Those that know me will be shocked to know it`s NOT a Virago!!!!! IT`S a LIMEY!! 1967 Triumph Bonneville 650 Chopper.It`ll be challenge,not being a Yamaha V-twin so I`ll probably be here lookin for advice. ;D  ?? |

You need to upload the pictures to a hosting site such as www.photbucket.com then link to them in your post using the insert hyperlink button. |

Butch, hey Bro!, drop a 750 European chain drive Virago motor into it. Now that would be you. Sounds like a real project. You nead to talk with V-Twin member Bill "Banana Kid" Hinkel 440-951-9631. Banana Kid owns a LINEY. I've seen him on it once or twice, may have been the only times it ran. He mostly rides his Vulcan 800, a bike that is more trustworthy on the road. But now a Triumph Bonneville chopped with a Virago motor, now thats a head turner. You could call it a Triago chopper.

Boy, Billy has had that bike for a long time and he says that it still runs and he just hasn't had it out. If I recall correctly he got that from his brother.

Yep,already started planning stages.Will be a surprize,hopefully maiden voyage by end of next season.Too many projects though.I can`t seem to pick just one and stay with it until finished.Then again are any of our bikes "really" finished?
